As you probably know, I’m a huge meal planner, however when it comes to lunches when I am home, it’s usually not planned and my quick lunch usually consists of leftovers on a salad. However having a toddler at home two days a week means leftovers on a salad most likely isn’t going to cut it. So when she’s home, lunches gotta’ be not only quick but they need to be interesting.
As I opened the fridge today, all I had was a little bit of leftover BBQ chicken, and some corn I cut from the cob from the previous nights dinner. We also happened to have multigrain tortilla wraps and mozza cheese in the house. So I turned these leftovers into a cheesy chicken and corn quesadilla. Which was so quick and yummy! Chopping up the chicken made it go further than I thought, and I even have more leftover for another serving or two. Maybe tomorrows lunch!
